He was dressed, as was his leisure, in an open silk shirt, fine leather pants, and the air of a well-fed cat.The Brimming Vine was practically his second home, as he slept here as often as he did anywhere. His silver eyes danced across the room, and alighted upon the sometimes-familiar face of Vin, and as their eyes met and he saw the brief flash of invitation, he glided across the room and sat, tossing his long legs up to rest boot upon table.Placing a hand familiarly on the arm of one of the staff, "Astacia, darling, I've just come in from a terrible row and I was hoping you might have some leftover stock of the Crow Road 517 vintage?"She smiled at his attention and leaned in, "We've only a few drops left, Dominic, but if you're just looking for something smooth and fast, Master Allenes just released a new Red Blossom vintage... it's a bit young, but it is already quite good.""That, then, thank you." The important matters of state handled, he greeted Vin with a smile, "So, old friend! I do like the new look," and nodding to the grizzled foreigner, "And the gentleman? A stranger to our establishment?""That is no stranger!" decried Vin, "That is my long-lost soul mate, at least in the procurement and meting of punishments, Brin of the Anton States!"Brin smiled warmly and proferred a hand. Dominic took it, but delicately - he did not yet know the man, and Vin was in his cups, "Charmed! So what is this of meting punishment?"Dominic was in from the road, but aside from a few days to recover, he did not intend to stay long. The road beckoned, and the stiffness of court was ill-suited to his lean, wolfish ways.Upon drinking the newly released vintage, however, he reflected upon those reasons the city was a good place to visit. Astacia had not misled him - it was very good, and he would find some appropriate way to reward her later.</blockquote>
